Bargaining Unit Compensation Surveys

Bargaining Unit 5 - California Highway Patrol Officer Surveys

Government Code section 19827 and the Unit 5 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) require CalHR and the California Association of Highway Patrolmen (CAHP) to jointly complete an annual compensation survey. Compensation is defined as salary, patrol bonuses, seniority pay, physical performance pay, education incentives, and employee contributions to retirement. The survey compares the compensation of California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers with the weighted average compensation of peace officers working for the Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Oakland Police Department, San Diego Police Department, and the San Francisco Police Department. If the survey determines the compensation for CHP officers is behind the weighted average compensation of peace officers at the surveyed jurisdictions, CHP officers receive a general salary increase equivalent to the difference, effective July 1.

Bargaining Unit 6 - Correctional Officer Surveys

In accordance with Government Code section 19826, and 19827.1, CalHR completed this survey comparing the employer's costs for providing wages and common employee benefits. The survey compares the compensation of California Correctional Officers with the average compensation of peace officers working for the six largest county law enforcement agencies in the state that employ peace officers in correctional facilities.

Bargaining Unit 8 - California Firefighter Surveys

Government Code section 19827.3 and the Unit 8 MOU require CalHR to conduct a compensation survey that compares the salary and benefits for State of California firefighter classifications with similar firefighter classifications working in local government fire departments in California.

Bargaining Unit 9 – Professional Engineer Surveys

Article 3.1 of the Unit 9 MOU requires CalHR and the Professional Engineers in California Government (PECG) to jointly complete an annual salary survey. This survey compares the maximum salaries for three State of California engineering classifications to comparable classifications employed at 18 public agencies and 10 University of California campuses.
